IN order to insure success in 1888 , the democrats should trot out the old arch- traitor Davis during the campaign. The hiss of the imbecile should be heard by every loyal man in the nation , and the democratic goose will be cooked beyond the possibility of resurrection. CHICAGO'S police have covered them selves with glory. There has been no agonizing cry for troops from a city which has been crowded with idle labor' ers for more than two weeks. The men with the clubs and stars found them selves able to handle all trouble without outside assistance. THE Tory journals in England are in a state of mind over a theory that the j turbulent Irish emigrant caused the late . lamented and suddenly suppressed riot' ' in Chicago. A Tory always sees a Rus-1 sian or an Irishman at the bottom of , every trouble , but the Americans have ; found that Irishmen are as a rule not , rioters. There was not a single Irish- ' men among the rioters on Tuesday night , while there were a good many Irisnmen among the officers who faced the bomb- . throwers and suppressed the riot. j TWENTY' years ago there graduated ' from Glasgow university the ablest and most brilliant man that ever left its eel- ; ebrated halls. Ten days ago he died in [ Chicago , the victim of drink. His name ' was John Fraser. This is but one ruin | of millions chargeable to alcohol and ! human weakness. Its melancholy gran- ! deur impels its pointing out. The catas trophe broke no more hearts and in flicted less misery than many a one happening every day. But it occurred in view of all men who read. The de struction of an humble laborer by the same agency is no less a crime and is just as pitiful. The world loses less , I but the stain is as deep , the woe as bitter and when the penalty comes to be exacted it can be no less and may be much greater. Topics. i A GOOD story is told of an Indiana woman who was so frightened over a narrow escape of her husband that she screamed when she saw him alive and well. A heavy stone had fallen from a scaffold and , grazing his hat-brim , had struck at his very feet. lie stood still , and looking up asked the workmen what in Sam Hill they were driving at. Some one who admired the fellow's nerve told the story to his wife the next day , and when this lady met her husband that evening she ran to him screaming , and after giving him a shaking exclaimed : "You great goose , whydidn'tyeurun ? ' ' This story illustrates the attitude that a good many outside papers are taking toward Chicago. They show more fright every day over the bomb-throwing of Tuesday night , and seem to regard the prompt suppression of the riot as cause for grief. The nervous editors get scared every time they think that Chicago crushed that anarchist mob in ten minutes , and they accuse the Gov ernor , abuse the Mayor , and traduce the people. Inter-Ocean.
